Fun Stained Glass Painting


Colorful and fun, this is a great project to brighten up a rainy day. It also offers you a chance to use some of the many shades of craft paint you have at the back of your craft cupboard!

Things you’ll need:
Canvas
Masking tape
Paintbrushes
Acrylic paint

Things to do:
1. Create a shattered pattern with the tape all over the canvas, stretching lengths of it across the canvas and then from one piece of tape to another.

2. Smooth the tape down well so that there are no air bubbles.
3. Paint each section a different color, making sure to carry it over the edge to finish it well.
4. Allow the paint to dry before removing the tape.

Less Mess Sponge Paints


My little girl loves to fingerpaint. And while I love that she loves to paint, I don’t love the inevitable mess of fingerpainting. To help with this problem, we’ve started making sponge pallets for her painting sessions, which cuts down on the mess and the drying time! Less globs = faster drying.

Things you’ll need:
Plain kitchen sponge
Scissors
Tempera paint or finger paint
Coffee can lid
Hot glue gun and glue sticks (optional)

Things to do:
1. Cut the sponge into 1-inch by 1-inch squares.


2. Using a dot of glue, secure the squares of sponge to the underside of the lid. This helps keep the sponge in place while your little one paints (less chance of it dropping on the floor!)
3. Drop a generous amount of paint onto the sponger and massage it slightly so that the paint soaks into the sponge material.

4. Allow your little one to depress the sponge square with their fingers and paint away!
